💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ColorTh...ight256(3) — yes the title is truncated, that's just how the manual renders long names, it's giving mysterious ellipsis energy — and this one comes to you from the User Contributed Perl Documentation part of the manual. ✨

What you're actually looking at is ColorTheme::JSON::Color::bright256: a brighter color theme for a 256-color terminal, adapted from the Data::Dump::Color::Default256 theme. That's the whole concept. It's a theme. It's bright. It's for 256 colors. Periodt. 💅

🎀 VERSION 🎀

This doc is describing version 0.134 of ColorTheme::JSON::Color::bright256 (which ships as part of the Perl distribution JSON-Color), and it was released on 2023-07-02. Notarize it, date it, it's canon. 📅

🌸 HOMEPAGE 🌸

🌈 CONTRIBUTING 🌈

Bestie, you wanna help?? Obsessed. You can send patches by email or via RT, or you can send pull requests on GitHub. Either way, the door is open and we love that for you. 🎀

Also, real talk: most of the time you don't need to build the distribution yourself. Like, you can just modify the code and then test it with:

% prove -l

That's it. That's the loop. Chef's kiss. 😌

But if you do wanna build the distribution — say, to try to install it locally on your system — then you'll need to install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. That's the stack, that's the roster. 🌟

Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. So if you find yourself doing extra mystery steps, that's not a vibe, that's a bug report. 💀
